"This is what is termed in TJed lingo as one of my central books. Every time I read this book I fall more in love with it. All the values of hard work, education, living off the land, a home overflowing with children and music and laughter. This is what I am trying to achieve in my own home. This family is not perfect but they are pretty darn close."

    " A good reminder that the best way to learn isn't always going to be sitting at a desk in school. Shouldn't practical/hands-on learning play a larger role? "

    " A lovely book loosely based on the author's childhood. Best for young adults. I picked it up when visiting Stratton-Porter's home in Indiana. Descriptions of nature and wholesome living abound. Lost a star for the occasional gushiness. "
